These shoes are beautiful and offer a lot of stretch and support, but I'm only giving it 4 stars because it dug into the back of my heel when I first wore them, making some skin come off and bleed. It was so painful after 6 hours of wearing them, that I had to lay off of wearing them for a few days until my cut healed.

I was hoping this style would be much like another pair of nature lets I purchaed but the front area is too narrow while the foot area is too wide. I will need to get the toe area stretched to make them wearable. ;-/

I am a long standing customer of and up until now very pleased with Naturalizer shoes, but am quite disappointed with the Maddie shoes. The elastic around the top is puckered and not smooth. Overall appearance is more like a slipper to be worn indoors. It is, however, like a slipper in comfort. The beige one I purchased is even worse. The elastic is not only puckered, but is also inverted in areas;, making for a sloppy appearance. It is not worth paying the postage to return the shoes as these were sale purchases.
